Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

This is great advice on how to treat a female friend, although I'm thinking the original poster is asking if he should treat girls he is ROMANTICALLY interested in as friends as a ploy to get in their pants.SnakeCharmer said:By Treat them like your male friends, most seductionists mean "don't put her on a pedestal unless you're willing to climb to sit beside her". This does not mean to loudly fart and saw "wow, I'll give it a four since I didn't have any warning it was coming...".
When I am with a platonic female friend, I don't get into the mushy crap of "you look stunning this evening" nor do I buy flowers, jewelry, or anything else that is possibly construed as a play to get in her undies. When she knocks on the door, I tell her "It's open" as I do with male friends. When she looks hot, I do my best to ignore it. (Lesson learned, try to find a female friend with smaller breasts if you like women with bigger breasts, mine drives me up the walls when she wears tight sweaters.)
Otherwise, forget that she is a woman. Treat her as a human, not as a gender. Invite her over, split a six pack (if you are of age). Play cards, Xbox, go out clubbing, shoot some pool, just don't treat her like she is a flower that must be handed like a flower.
No roughhousing, or anything like that. Just avoid both ends of the spectrum.
Yeah, you probably should treat a "female friend" like a male friend. The problem I see is that you might ask said friend for sex. Male friends don't have sex with each other so my advice would be don't pressure her. Just stafy friends.dynamicallyidle said:
